Welcome to planDisney, Maranda! Thank you for sailing by with your question. I love the
Disney Magic. Going for a plunge on the AquaDunk at night is on my "must do" list!
During Online Check-In, you can designate who you will pay for and who you grant charging privileges to, but you cannot designate a certain amount. You are correct that Onboard Credit is nonrefundable. I have purchased Onboard Credit for my son and kept an eye on the charges through the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app or by accessing the account on my stateroom television. I usually keep a
Disney Gift Card on hand to take to
Guest Services to cover charges as well. Sometimes, the lines at Guest Services get a little long, but there are other times when no one is in line. I find that stopping by when dinner is happening or early in the morning is usually the best time to visit!
Maranda, I hope this helps as you get ready to sail away on the Disney Magic soon. I know you and your family will have a fantastic time. If you have any other questions, come back to "sea" us at
planDisney.
Happy Planning!
